Recent Developments

The  following  discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text
of the documents described, which are attached as exhibits to this report.

On November 26, 2003, Commtouch entered into a securities purchase agreement and
related  agreements  with  certain  investors  identified  in a schedule  to the
Securities Purchase Agreement, which provides for the following terms:

o        Commtouch will issue senior  convertible  notes to the investors in the
         aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000. The notes will carry interest
         at the rate of 8.0% per annum,  payable  quarterly in cash and maturing
         in 36 months.

o        the notes will rank senior to all outstanding  and future  indebtedness
         of the  Company  and will be  secured  by a first  priority,  perfected
         security interest in the assets of the Company and the stock and assets
         of the Company's subsidiaries.

o        the investors,  at their discretion,  may cause the Company to issue up
         to an additional  $3,000,000 of notes from time to time for a period of
         six months following the effectiveness of the first resale registration
         statement filed by the Company, as discussed below.

o        the investors may convert the notes at any time into ordinary shares of
         the Company at a conversion price of 102% of the average closing prices
         of the  Company's  ordinary  shares for the five  trading days prior to
         closing,  but not greater than 105% of the closing price on the trading
         day prior to  closing.  The notes  provide  for  certain  anti-dilution
         adjustments.

o        the  Company  may prepay  the notes at any time after the twelve  month
         anniversary  of  the  effectiveness  of  the  applicable   registration
         statement if, among other things, (i) the daily

                                       2


         volume  weighted  average  price of the ordinary  shares for 20 trading
         days in any 30 consecutive  trading day period was at least 200% of the
         conversion  price of the notes and (ii) the trading volume on 15 of the
         20 trading  days is greater  than  250,000,  excluding  block trades of
         20,000 shares or more.

o        the investors also will receive warrants to purchase up to 200 ordinary
         shares  for  every  $1,000  principal  amount of notes  purchased.  The
         warrants will be three year warrants  exercisable  at an exercise price
         equal  to the  conversion  price.  The  warrants  provide  for  certain
         anti-dilution adjustments.

The initial  closing and funding of the transaction is subject to the conversion
of all amounts  outstanding  under the  $1,250,000  in  promissory  notes issued
pursuant to the  Convertible  Loan Agreement  dated January 29, 2003 between the
Company and the lenders party thereto, which the Company previously reported.

The Company is required to use its best efforts to file a Registration Statement
on Form F-3 covering the ordinary  shares  underlying the notes and the warrants
within 10 days from the  initial  closing and within 30 days from the closing of
any additional sale of notes, and use its best efforts to cause the registration
statement to become  effective  within 90 days from those dates.  If the Company
fails to do so, then the Company will be required to pay to each noteholder cash
in the  amount of 0.02 of the  aggregate  principal  amount  of the notes  whose
underlying  shares  were  includable  in  the  registration   statement  if  the
registration  statement  was  filed  late,  plus  an  additional  0.02,  if  the
registration  statement is not declared  effective by the  applicable  deadline,
plus 0.00067 of the principal  amount for each day of the delay.  These payments
will bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month until paid in full.

The Company has also agreed that:

o        while the notes are outstanding,  it will not redeem, or declare or pay
         any cash dividend or  distribution  on, its ordinary shares without the
         prior express written consent of holders representing a majority of the
         aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding.

o        while the notes are  outstanding,  it will not permit  certain liens to
         exist on its property or assets.

o        it may not offer,  sell,  grant any option to  purchase,  or  otherwise
         dispose of any of its or its subsidiaries'  equity or equity equivalent
         securities,  including any debt, preferred stock or other instrument or
         security  convertible  into or exchangeable or exercisable for ordinary
         shares or ordinary share  equivalents,  until 90 trading days following
         the  effectiveness  of the  first  resale  registration  statement  the
         Company  files.  After  the 90 day  period  has  expired  and  for  the
         succeeding 18 months,  the investors will have a right of first refusal
         to purchase up to 1/3 of any such securities.

o        it will  indemnify the investors as to certain  liabilities  arising in
         connection with the registration statements.

                                       3


The  Company  will use the  proceeds  of the  notes  and  warrants  for  general
corporate purposes.

The closing of the  transaction  is subject to the  fulfillment of the following
closing conditions, among others:

o        approval of the  shareholders  of the Company of (i) an increase in the
         authorized share capital of the Company to allow the issuance of shares
         on  conversion  of the notes and  exercise of the warrants and (ii) the
         Company's   issuance  of  ordinary   shares  upon   conversion  of  the
         outstanding  promissory  notes of the  Company  issued  pursuant to the
         Convertible Loan Agreement.  The Company's principal  shareholders have
         agreed to vote in favor of these proposals.

o        all security  interests pursuant to the Convertible Loan Agreement must
         have been released and terminated.

o        receipt of all required approvals, including the approval of the Office
         of Chief  Scientist  in the Israeli  Ministry of Industry and Trade and
         the Israeli Investment Center.

The transaction is currently expected to close in January 2004.
